T0 all wlwm z't may concem:

Be it known that I, VIRGIL A. WILSON, a citizen 0f the United States, residing at East Point, in ehe county 0f Fulton and Stute of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvernents in Levels, of Whieh the following is a speeifieation.

My invention relates to improvements in levels and the leading object of my inventien is the rovision 0f a 1evel whieh Will be absolutely reliable for the intended purp0se and which Will be of simple, inexpensive and practical construetion.

With this object in view, my invention eonsists of a 1evel embodying novel features 0f construction and combinations of parts substantially as diselosed herein.

F igure 1 represents a side elevation 0f a level complete constructed in aeeordance With and embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a sectional view taken 0n the line 22 of Fig. l. Figs. 3 am]. 4 represent detail views 0f the weighted dials and weight respectively.

M improved 1evel is of extremely simple construction, consisting of the stoek A provided with the metal proteeting cerners B, and formed centrally with the opening C, on eaeh side 0f whieh are formed the annular recesses D, in which fit the p1ates E, 10rmed with the openings F am]. the sight opening G, and the plates centrally 0f the sight opening are fermed with the depending indieators er pointers H.

In the openings F anc1 between the plates E is mounted the pin J upon which are placed the twin disks K, having secured thereto and t0 the pin J the weight L, and upon the disks K are secured the dials M, the indieations 0n their faees being seen through the sight openings and in conneetion with the indieators H giving the desired level.

It Will thus be seen that my level comprises very few parts which are entirly proteeted and it is evident that the dia1 has a very sensitive movement, und in conneetion with the pointer er indicator, will prove absolutely accurate anc1 reliable in operation.

I clairh:

l. A level, comprising a stock having a. central opening therethrough, plates provided with sight openings and seeured upon each side of said eentral opening, a depending pointer formed integral with the plates, and a weighted dial rotatably swung upon said plates und adapted to be observed through said sight openings in the plates.

2. A leve1, eomprising a stoek provided with a central opening therethrough, a rotating weighted dia1 mounted in said opening, p1ates secured upon the sides of the epening and having sight openings therein whereby said weighted dial1nay be observed, and a pointer depending from said plates und operating in conjunction with said dial.

3. A level, comprising a stock provided with a central opening therethrough, plates having sight openings secured upon each side 0f the opening, a pin in Sa'id plates, a weighted dial mounted 0n said pin, and an indieator fonned 0n the plates and operating in conjunetion with the dia1.

4. A leve1, comprising a stock having a central opening therethrough, plates having sight openings secured upon each side 01 said central opening, depending indicators formed integral therewith, a pin secured between said plates, twin disks secured to said pin, a weight seeured t0 said disks and pin, und dials seeured upon said disks, said dials having indieations thereon adapted to be observed through said sight openings in said plates.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
